<ws_option name="common">

Option

Description

Default value

iManage.Import.DocClass

Specifies the default document class when saving files to iManage Work as new documents or new versions.

Example: <key name="iManage.Import.DocClass" value="DOC"/>

If the value string is empty, a blank Class field appears in the iManage Save dialog and users are prompted to enter a document class when saving documents.

NOTES:

  • This option is applicable only for saving new documents, not for new versions.

  • The default doc class and default email class are no longer read from the default classes configured from iManage Work Server. These two values will be read only from the imWorkOptions.xml file. 

  • If the iManage.Import.DocClass and iManage.Import.EmailClass options are missing in the file, "DOC" is used as the default document class and "E-MAIL" is used as the default email class.

DOC

iManage.Import.EmailClass

Specifies the default email class and subclass (optional) when saving emails to iManage as new documents or new versions.

NOTE: This setting doesn't apply to file uploads of emails.

Example: <key name="iManage.Import.EmailClass" value="E-Mail"/>

Email

iManage.Import.EmailSubClass

Specifies the default email class subclass when saving emails to iManage Work Desktop for Windows as new documents or new versions.

Example: <key name="iManage.Import.EmailClass" value="E-Mail"/>
<key name="iManage.Import.EmailSubClass" value=""/>

NOTES:

  • If no default email class is specified, any default subclass specified will be ignored.

  • If a class and subclass are specified in the folder profile, these values are inherited from the folder profile.

  • If no class or a subclass is specified in the folder profile, then the default class and subclass from the imWorkOptions.xml file is applied.

"" (no value)

FileSave

Used to map the Microsoft Office's File->Save (idMso) command to a predefined iManage Work command ID—for example, "iManage.WorkSiteSavenSync". By mapping to the "iManage.WorkSiteSavenSync" command, you can save edits to iManage Work when the File->Save operation is performed.

Example: <key name="FileSave" value="iManage.WorkSiteSavenSync"/>

NOTES:

  • This setting works for all environments, including Citrix environments. It is used to save changes to iManage Work when a document is saved. 

  • By mapping to the existing iManage.WorkSiteSavenSync ribbon ID, edits can be saved to iManage Work when the File > Save operation is performed.

"" (no value)

ValidateCheckoutLocation

Used to validate the location of a checked-out file against the logged in user's current device.

If this value is set to N, only the file's checkout path is validated during check-in.

Example: <key name="ValidateCheckoutLocation" value="Y"/>

NOTE: For users using a multi-user environment like Citrix, the value should be set to N.

Y

EnableMicrosoft365forthedesktop

This setting allows Admins to control the default behavior when users open iManage Work files in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. The setting affects how documents are accessed and edited collaboratively. These file types can now be accessed in an open state in iManage Work Next Generation Co-authoring, in which the AutoSave feature is enabled, and co-authoring can occur, or files can be opened using the traditional exclusive check-out process:

  • With the value set to Disable (the default), iManage documents are opened with the classic checkout model, and the iManage Work Next Generation Co-authoring is not available.

NOTE: The Next Generation Co-authoring is only enabled when this setting is set to one of the two enabled states.

  • With the value set toEnable-M365forthedesktopAsDefault, iManage files are opened in co-authoring mode with AutoSave enabled. The Co-authoring toggle is visible on the ribbon, enabling the user to switch to exclusive checkout.

  • With the value set to Enable-ExclusiveCheckoutAsDefault, iManage Work files are opened with the traditional checkout process, locking the file. The Co-authoring toggle button is visible on the ribbon, enabling the user to switch to Next Generation Co-authoring mode if desired.

Example: <key name=“EnableMicrosoft365forthedesktop” value=”Enable-M365forthedesktopAsDefault”/>

Disable

iwOnlyKeepLatestVersionatLocal

Ensures that only one version of the file is kept in the "Recent" directory. By default, whenever you save the document as a new version, the previous version of the document will be deleted from your local directory.

Valid values:

  • Y or N

  • true or false

Example: <key name="iwOnlyKeepLatestVersionatLocal" value="Y"/>

Y

iwCopyCommentsFromPreviousVersion

Ensures version comments are copied over from previous version when a new version is created using Microsoft Office applications. 

  • With the value set to Y, when saving the document as a new version, the comments from the previous versions are carried over to the new version of the document. For example, when saving version 2 of the document to create version 3, all the comments from version 2 are carried over to version 3.

  • With the value set to N, when saving the document as a new version, no comments are carried over from previous versions of the document. For example, when saving version 2 to create version 3 does not carry any comments from version 2. 

When the value is Y, the comments are carried over only when users are creating a new version of the document using Microsoft Office integration. If the users upload a new version using the right-click context menu from iManage Work or iManage Work Panel in Microsoft Outlook, the comments aren't carried over from previous version.

If users are saving a new version of a document by using smart documents or by saving attachments from an email, the comments from the previous version aren't carried over. This is because when using Microsoft Office integration, users are typically creating a new version of an existing document. However, when uploading a new version from the web, it's a new document. Similarly, uploading Smart Attachments is a new file. Hence, the comments aren't carried over from previous version. Instead, the sender information and date/time stamp are placed in the comments.

NOTES: 

  • This setting doesn't apply when using the Upload as New version option from iManage Work or iManage Work Panel. This is because the user is uploading a new document as a new version instead of editing a previous version.

  • Also, when an email attachment is saved as a new version, the comments will continue to display the sender information—for example, Sent by Jerry Isaac jIsaac@imanage.com on 4/26/2024 2:20:43 PM.

Example: <key name="iwCopyCommentsFromPreviousVersion" value="Y"/>

Y

iwFileCaptionFormat

Specifies the document caption format in the Microsoft Office applications: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The value can be combined with other text or characters. It uses the members of the WSProfileAttributeID enumeration, enclosed with brackets { and }.

Example: <key name="iwFileCaptionFormat" value="#{imProfileDocNum}v{imProfileVersion}<{imProfileDatabase}> - {imProfileDescription}" />

#{imProfileDocNum}v{imProfileVersion}<{imProfileDatabase}> - {imProfileDescription}

SaveAsPDFDefaultDisposition

Specifies the default disposition for documents that are saved as a PDF. 

The valid values are new version and new document

Example: <key name="SaveAsPDFDefaultDisposition" value=""/> 

  • If the value defined is invalid, it takes the default value: none.

  • If the value isn't defined, and:

    • the user saves an existing iManage Work document as PDF, both the New Version and New Document options are enabled in the Save As PDF Options dialog. New Version is selected by default. 

    • the user saves a new document as PDF, the New Document option is enabled and selected in the Save As PDF Options dialog. The New Version option is disabled.  

  • If the value defined is new version, and:

    • the user saves a new document as PDF, the New Document option is enabled and selected by default. The New Version option is disabled. 

    • the user saves a iManage Work document, both the New Document and New Version options are enabled, and the New Version option is selected by default. 

  • If the value defined is new document and:

    • the user saves an existing iManage Work document, both the New Document and New Version options are enabled, and the New Document option is selected by default. Also, the Relate to original check box is selected by default.

    • the user saves a new document, both the New Document and New Version options are enabled, and New Document option is selected by default.

iwPurgeRecentAgeThreshold

Whenever you open a file from iManage Work using the iManage Work Desktop for Windows application, a copy of the file is downloaded to the %AppData%\Roaming\iManage\Work\Recent folder. Unless deleted manually, the files remained in the folder. To prevent files from accumulating and unnecessarily increasing hard disk space usage and to prevent the risk of accidentally deleting files that were taken offline, the Purge feature automatically removes files that are older than a configurable number of days from the Recent folder.
